Parent meeting for 1st-6th grade is tonight! 1st-2nd meeting will start at 6pm and 3rd-6th at 7pm in the Science room down the hall from the wrestling room. Hope to see everyone there!

Wrestling against Crookston tomorrow at the LHS “Brick House” gym. JV and youth start at 6pm and Varsity to follow around 7pm. We only have 3 home duals this year so please come out and support our HS wrestlers!

We will be doing a Youth scrimmage with Crookston tomorrow 12/11 in TRF vs Crookston prior to the Varsity dual at 6pm. I’m still waiting on the coaches to have the list of matches. Crookston is only bringing 12 kids so there’s a good chance not all of our kids that signed up will get a match, but we should have more information out tonight.

Please get your Papa Murphy’s Coupon Money in.

Please make sure your child users the restroom before practice. The less breaks the more kids can learn. Also, please have child bring a water bottle to practice to make water breaks more efficient.

Remember – first 8 practices a wrestler attends, they will earn a pair of Prowler Wrestling gym shorts, we hope to see you there!

(this is a self-motivated practice, and horseplay is not tolerated) Make sure you have a practice partner, it’s generally a small group and includes K-12th grade. There are no coaches so younger kids especially need to have a parent help them.

Compression Tee, Fight Shorts, & Quarter Zips Order. I’m still waiting on the design for Compression Tees and I’d like to place the order for all three at the same time, so Fight Shorts 1/4 zips aren’t due today, but you can turn them in if you want. I will relay more info when I get it.

Parent meeting for 1st-5th grade is Thursday, December 10th. 1st-2nd meeting will start at 6pm and 3rd-5th at 7pm in the Science room down the hall from the wrestling room. Hope to see everyone there!

The first “local” MN/USA State qualifier is coming up on Sunday December 9th already in Barrett, MN. This is a great opportunity to qualify for a state tournament (Rochester, MN March 8-10), it’s double points so kids just need to finish 1st or 2nd in a 4 man bracket. The only other local opportunity is January 13th in Moorhead. All other qualifiers are near the twin cities for the most part. A MN/USA card is required to attend this tournament, the Takedown Club will pay for this ($40). If you plan to attend please let us know so we can get you a MN/USA card.

We will be doing a Youth scrimmage with Crookston on 12/11 in TRF vs Crookston prior to the Varsity dual. We will start around 5:15-5:30pm so you will need to be there by 5 at the latest. This is for 1st-6th grade. I will have a sign up sheet at practice, please sign up by Thursday if interested. Once we get a list of names, we will compare to what Crookston has (age, ability, weight) and let you know if there is a match for your son or daughter. Coaches will do their best putting together matchups, but please keep in mind Crookston only has 28 wrestlers (We have 64 1-6th grade) and not all will travel here. We will let everyone know that has a match the day prior.
